Dancer Studio shoot

[gahspidy]

Hey all,
I recently did a shoot for a Dancer who is putting together a CD of middle Eastern music and needed images for the cover as well as just having more recent images of herself for other uses as well.
We used her friends house who had a good bit of sapce for the 10x20 ft muslin backdrop and support system.(I would have preffered paper but the large rolls are not transport friendly)
These were shot with the Canon Speedlites bounced from 40" umbrellas and another speedlite from behind to illuminate the veil and give it a back lit glow. I had a 60" umbrella that I was thinkig of using for the main light but was afraid the 580 EX ll would just be too weak to throw enough light into a surface that large.

I thought I would share these just to show what can be done with the small speedlites, but if anyone can give me a way to improve upon these next time that would be great.
I would like to get into this area of photography, it was quite fun, but I think if I'm going to do this more often I need to get some Alien Bees (White Lightening?) and soft boxes etc. . . .and a studio lol. I think I will be needing to rent studio space in N.Y. until I can get more room for my own
